Lyrics for Poor Boy

My love is alien, I picked her up by chance She speaks to me in ultra-high frequency The radio band of gold Gonna listen 'Til I grow old Oo hoo hoo What more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo What more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo hoo The crackle of the radio The message in the evening sky You're looking at an interplanetary Romeo I'll never see her face Between us there's too much space Oo hoo hoo What more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo What more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo hoo Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh (What more can a poor boy do?) Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Keep losing you What more can a poor boy do? What more can a poor boy do? Yeah What more, What more What more can a poor boy do? Yeah What more, What more What more can a poor boy do?
